Wait a Minute Mr. Postman

Come rain, snow, or sleet the United States Postal Service (and FedEx, UPS, and Canada Post!) are delivering quilts every hour of the day!! Our total now is up to 225-and I don't think that number will stay for very long. Oh how beautiful these quilts are. We are completely humbled by the generosity of the quilters of the world. Some of you are spending close to $20 to send these quilts and fabric to us....add that to the cost of the quilts and the time spent constructing them--wow! Will we ever be able to say thanks enough?

Will you be sending these to Canada as well? I think I may know of at least one quilter who could donate and hopefully a few more. I couldn't leave a comment on Craft hope. Also, is there a different address for the Canadian quilts?

This is a blog which documents the activities of Margaret's Hope Chest-a quilting non-profit organization birthed out of the tragic murder of 81-year old Margaret Herrema. Our website MargaretsHopeChest.com is a great place for more information about what we do.
